On page 10 of section 1 of this book, it is stated thatMalcolm MacLeod, the son of Norman MacLeod and Christina Fraser, married"a daughter of Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe, by whom he had issue." Theissue were John, who became the 4th chief; Norman; Murdo; Malcolm; and"Fingula (or Flora), who married Murdoch Macenzie, 6th of the MacKenziesof Kintail, with issue." "

    Fynvola married Murdoch (6th or 5th of Kintail) Mackenzie in 1397. Murdoch (son of Kenneth (5th of Kintail) Mackenzie and Daughter of John (of The Isles) Macdonald) was born in 1370; died in 1416. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Alick Morrison, THE CHIEFS OF CLAN MACLEOD, East Kilbride,Scotland, 1986. The BANNATYNE MANUSCRIPT, which is our main authority forthe history of the early chiefs of the Clan MacLeod, says that Malcolmwas 'renowned as the greatest hero of his race'. King David II gave him acharter of Glenelg, [see BOOK OF DUNVEGAN, I. pp. I, 275.] probably as areward for services rendered, but the MacLeods were in possession ofGlenelg long before they came to hold it from the King by charter.Malcolm married a daughter of Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe, [AlexanderMacKenzie, in his HISTORY OF THE MACLEODS (p. 12), says that Malcolmmarried Martha, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar. It is possible he mayhave married her as his second wife.] by whom he had issue.... ChiefMalcolm, as he advanced in life, became extremely corpulent, and wasknown as CALUM REAMHAR MATH (Good Stout Malcolm). The MEMORIAL (1767)says that he was called GILLECALUIM CAS REAMHAR (The Stout-leggedMalcolm). While on a visit to his kinsman, MacLeod of Lewis, Malcolm diedin the Castle of Stornoway, and his body was conveyed to Iona, where itwas buried. His death took place c. 1370. He was succeeded by his eldestson.

    Notes:

    Clan Macleod
    http://www.tartans.com/clans/MacLeod/macleod.html

    "The progenitor of the MacLeod's was Leod, younger son of Olaf the Blackone of the last Norse Kings of Man and the Isles. Leod imherited Lewisand Harris along with parts of Skye on his father's death in 1237.Through marriage to the Norse seneschal of Skye the family acquiredDunvegan Castle, which remains in the family to this day. The Clanconsists of two main branches: the MacLeods of Lewis descend from Leod'sson Torquil while the MacLeods of Harris and Skye descend from anotherson, Tormod.
    The MacLeods followed the MacDonald Lord of the Isles in the Battle ofHarlaw of 1411 but were able to steer a hazardous political path whenJames IV sought to break the power of the Lords of the Isles. The successof the Clan can also be traced to the political talent of the 8th ChiefAlistair Crotach. He not only managed to avoid the wrath of James V at atime when most Highland chiefs were imprisoned or driven from theirlands, but also succeeded in securing the title to Trotternish in 1542.Trotternish had long been in dispute with the MacDonalds of Sleat."

    Notes:

    From "The Cheyne Family in Scotland" by Lieut.-Colonel Archibald YthanCheyne. (Published AD 1931) V.V. Sumfield, Printer, Station Street,Eastbourne.
    Page 29.
    (The author of 'The Frasers of Pilorth' is of the opinion that anotherdaughter of this Reginald (Sir) le Chen, le fils, by Mary de Moravia, waswife of Andrew (Sir) Fraser of Pilorth, Sheriff of Sterling, and he baseshis opinion on the agreement of 1312, above mentioned, between Mary deMoravia, Duffus, and Alexander, son of this Andrew (Sir) Fraser. Andrew(Sir) Fraser's wife had dower lands in Caithness between 1280 and 1290,(viii) and the author's argument is as follows: (ix) "It is this Mary, ofDuffus, who in her widowhood made the agreement (Robert I. 1312) withAlexander Fraser by order of Robert I. She was the wife of Reginald (Sir)le Chen before 1269 and a daughter of theirs might have been of age tobecome the wife of Andrew (Sir) Fraser between 1280 and 1290 and mighthave received dower lands in Catania (out of her mother's lands ofStrathnavir in Caithness) and if during the disturbances of that stormyperiod the part of Mary's estates where these dower lands were situatedhad been lost or alienated by her, Alexander Fraser might have justclaims on her other possessions in lieu of this inheritance, to which hehad right through his mother but which is no longer in Mary's power togrant him: and as far as can be ascertained there is no reason to befound for any such pretensions on the part of Andrew (Sir)'s son. Thisview of the case may suggest a cause for the confirmation of the royalletters by David II in 1363, for the possessions of the last Reginald(Sir) le Chen, Lord of Duffus, were divided amongst his daughters, whowere married about that time, when it is possible that some revival ofthe claims may have been tried by Alexander Fraser's heiress Margaret andher husband, William (Sir) de Keith, the Marischal. Probably thereforeAndrew (Sir) Fraser's wife, who had diwer lands in Catania, was a of thefamily Le Chen".)
